Puppies and groundhogs have dominated Google searches the last few days.

On Sunday, more than 1 million people searched for "Groundhog Day" on Google, as people weary
of the winter weather looked for signs of spring. Punxsutawney Phil did predict six more weeks of
winter, but locally Buckeye Chuck from Marion forecasted an early spring.

Yesterday, puppies ruled the search engine.

Many people were looking for video and news about the Puppy Bowl, the popular hour-long
football game on Animal Planet played by puppies. This year, there was also a Kitten Bowl (Hallmark
Channel) and a Fish Bowl (a tongue-in-cheek show of fish swimming in a bowl), but the Puppy Bowl
still ruled on Google and in social media circles.

Furthering the popularity of the "puppy search," Google users who might have tuned out of the
boring Super Bowl game by halftime searched for the touching Budweiser ad featuring a puppy
desperately trying to be near his "best bud," a Clydesdale.
